! Not Completed (OTA updates)

[PJnc284]

I just went outside to observe my truck and it sounds like a swarm of bees is underneath of it.

Is this a normal part of the upgrade process? I have never noticed it before

normal. And lol, I had to look up what a pocket pod mini is but looks like that might be cheaper. Mongoose I was referring to is used with FDRS to update modules instead of waiting on Ford's finicky OTA process.

Doesn't charging the hvb charge the 12v? Mine was off the charger since Sunday and noticed the 12v was reporting about 64% in CarScanner so I plugged it in Friday and it reported a 100% charge on the 12v when I checked this morning. Seems like a big drop in a few days but has been cold this week. I've had the battery sensor replaced so I'm wondering if I just have a bad battery.

The 12V battery only actively is charging while the truck is on, or the truck is actively charging (not just the cable plugged in). For instance if you have the FCSP charging at 19kW, you actually don't get a good charge on your 12V battery sometimes, because once you hit your charge limit it also stops charging the 12V battery.

The best way is to leave the truck on for like 8 hours (turn off lights, radio, AC, etc.), or plug in a level 1 charger overnight, or set the charge rate really low if you have an adjustable level 2 charger. Those 3 things work great for getting the 12V SOC up high.

I have never noticed the sound on any other update, though this is the first "Major" I have received. (If we consider 1.4 major)

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... I thought you were joking that you downgraded your EV to an EV Mongoose Bike... LOL....

I live in a small town and the local auto shop has said I could swing by and use their stuff and this was as close as I was to taking them up on it so I didn't have to purchase the other equipment. Purchasing ForScan was easy and I already had the OBDscanner
